About Me

I have been teaching English successfully in Spain for 30 years. I work at the Language Centre of a local university and online as a teacher and translator.

I highly recommend Mr. Baker! The best teacher you will ever find. He is a very patient person with a big heart and knowledge to give to others. He will also teach you so many techniques to improve your English, such as: pronunciation, reading, writing, listening, idioms and many more.
I was starting my doctorate, so I needed a very high level teacher and definitely got a lot of help from him. I took classes with him for about 9 months and improved a lot. I will be grateful to him for all my life!
Sadly it is time to say goodbye, but I assure you all that I will keep in my heart many beautiful memories, a lot of knowledge in my mind and many funny moments during my learning and all of them will last forever.
Believe me, if you really want to learn, look no further! Mr. Giles Baker is the best teacher, he is also very intelligent and has a brilliant mind.
Mr. Baker, I wish you nothing but success and happiness.
I will miss you, all the best to you and your family.

Giles is a very good teacher. His style is clear and informative while his lessons are entertaining. You will have fun learning english while enjoying a good conversation with him.
If, like me, speaking is your weak point and you want to improve it, Giles is the right choice.
